buy some screws that fits your BI2 rad. Then take a drill-bit that has the same diameter as the screw. And make the holes of the grill bigger with a driller.
That's how I did. It won't harm the grill

I have the same rad and the same fangrill and I just bought some screws that fitted

calantak redo a thread / project like this please :grin:

The Senile Doctor · 17th March 2004, 18:54

maybe later this year, if RichyB feels up to it

he's the god of this thread
It's been exactly one year.

I'd like to modify another case greatly but I need a special case to do it...and up until now I haven't seen any case that (to my personal taste) comes close to that 410 I have now (but is definately is the most crappy case to work with on the inside...)
and I'd like to wait until btx standard

AMD won't adapt to the BTX standard any time soon.. if the 939 delivers what's promised, you will be using ATX cases for some time to come

the new Coolermaster case is a real looker, the one that stores 14+ HD's

Calantak, is that 80 watt pelt hangen on you main psu ? or do you have a dedicated one ?

The Senile Doctor · 17th March 2004, 19:57

the 80 watt pelt is on my main psu (520 watt superflower), and the rig is totally stable.

@ JMke...
I cannot compare the new CM case to mine...

vs...

Purely for the looks... the difference is huge.

the atcs410 is THE case with the greatest looks ever made in my humble opinion...
and there's nothing that can come close.

cases like a lian-li pc6070b or a coolermaster praetorian are great looking cases... but the outside of the atcs410 is more then that...it is simply stunning, the front grill when closed, when opening : the mesh below, and the grill above... everything is sublime

it's just an opinion, but making the cm atcs410 10 cm higher, and 5 cm wider and yet another 10 cm deeper and I'd buy 5, to last my entire life.
but the case is too small on the inside due to the way it's constructed

exactly, don't care about looks, if the new CM fits 14 HD's and keeps them cool , I'm very happy

The Senile Doctor · 17th March 2004, 20:18

I know that you are/will be

however I do care about looks.
otherwise I'd still be buying aopen cases :yuk:
